Hi guys, here from Iowa, In the summer we have a community theatre group that rents out the local high school theatre and usually puts on two large musicals a summer, this coming summer will be my 6th year with them and, its just been announced that we have got the rights to Les Miserables.
Here's the kicker i may be "assistant TD" as in one of my good friends will be TDing and he and i work close together and kind of help each other out, we did the same thing last year and it worked well. Well we need to do projections, we did projection for a show last year and it was well...horrible, we ran it off of his laptop and then split it off to two different projectors(two different screens) and just shut off the projector that was not in use with the included remote, well it was horrible, sound was ether to loud or to soft, we ended up having a weird red line running horizontal on one of the projectors a couple of the nights, video skipped or didnt pop up, it was just bad.
So were looking at a media server deal and running projections off of it, Im not for sure how many projectors we will be using and what type or anything. We have a ETC ION console. And this is where i need help at, Neither he or i know anything about media servers what they really can or cant do, what we need to work with them or anything, we've never worked with one in our lives, we need all the help and information we can possibly get.
If you could just give me any and all help and information or just point me in the right direction it would be awesome.
Thanks guys so much and i hope to hear from you soon.
